Lamborghini Gallardo "Superleggera" Geneva Sneak Preview: 10hp more, 100 kg less

530Hp, 1.330kg and 0-100km/h in 3,8 sec: that’s the Gallardo “Superleggera” is in a nutshell. Unlike our previous post on the Opel Agila, the “Superleggera” is a done deal; this souped-up lightweight Gallardo will make its appearance at the Geneva Show. We had been tipped about this one but we didn’t have any photos to go with it until now that is, thanks to a “paparazzi” at Supercar Forums who posted a scanned image of the car from Quattroruote magazine.

Strange name..

I like the concept, reminds of the M3 CSL. Minimize power increase, but Maximize weight reduction. Can't wait to see more.

Is this for real or is it BS?

I hope it is true becasue the Gallardo isn't raw enough and should have lost some weight long ago. Porsche is working on their GT2, Ferrari on their Stradale and it is about time Lambo joins the low weight/high out put game.

Well, "Superleggera" is "superlight" or "extra light" in English.

This one would probably beat it's brother LP640 with those mods...

Are we sure this is true?

And it has been used many times in the past by Italian sports car manufacturers.

And by BMW, more than 50 years ago...
